Film set catering for your shoot in Gatton
Some locations near Gatton are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater commercials and music videos and long shoot days.
Near Gatton, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

FAQs for Gatton
Can you do a hog roast in Nutfield Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Send us the date, the address or RH2 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
Give us one contact in production.
